Steton’s baseball team is partnering with Florida Blood Centers for its annual Blood Drive, Monday, November 18.

The Blood Drive will be held at Melching Field in DeLand from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

While all members of the Stetson baseball team are expected to participate, the Hatters are inviting the university and Deland communities to participate as well.

“This is an event that’s important to our players and coaches and is vital in the effort to stockpile blood supplies heading into the holiday season,” Hatters baseball coach Pete Dunn said. “It seems as if the call goes out every year at this time for donations because blood supplies run low. This is a way for our program to give back to the community.

“This community supports the Stetson baseball program throughout the year, and this is a way for us to show our appreciation.”

Each donor will receive a free movie ticket, courtesy of Fandango; a free voucher to Papa John’s in DeLand; a free 7-day sports pass to LA Fitness, and a free mini-physical. All ALYX donors will receive a free $10 Darden gift card.

Interested donors can scheduled an appointment by calling 1-888-9-DONATE (936-6283) or by visiting www.oneblooddonor.org.
